Now, with DAL conducting a chunk of the interview, there are not a whole lot of pieces to put in place.
Sources: Multiple ASA pilots. Apparently they get this info from their flt ops chief at recurrent.
I know absolutely nothing else.
I'd venture to say that expressjet and Asa had the highest numbers of new hires with NWA/DAL than any other groups fwiw.
